Soldiers arrive in Four Corners with a U.S. Treasury wagon. They give the contents to the banker, as Buck and the others arrive. Buck asks if there is Mr. Greer, and Terry says that her husband died of a fever. She explains that Olivia is a "youthful indiscretion", and Buck flirts with her. Coltrane and his men are in town, and recognize Terry as Buck and Nathan take her to Mary. Buck insists on carrying Terry's bag, and when she's alone with Buck, Olivia asks him if he's going to be her daddy. When he says that he isn't, Olivia tells him to stop looking at Terry the way he is. Buck goes on ahead, unaware that Olivia has pickpocketed his watch.
Inside, Mary tells Terry that she's arranged a room for her at the hotel and a job interview at the general store in Bitter Creek. Terry thought there was a job for her in Four Corners, where she could raise Olivia. Mary points out that Four Corners is still a growing town and not a fit place to raise a child. Terry says that she turned to safecracking after her husband died to finance herself and Olivia, and she was caught and sentence to three years.
Coltrane comes into the newspaper office, using an alias, and says that he was planning to open an emporium in town and wanted to place a notice in the newspaper. Mary gets him a form to fill out for the advertisement, and Coltrane gets a good look at Terry while he waits. Terry recognizes Coltrane, and asks if Olivia can stay there while she buys some necessities.
Once Terry leaves, Mary asks Buck and Nathan to take Olivia to the hotel. Buck tries to bow out and notices that his watch is gone, and Nathan insists that they take care of Olivia. They go out on the street and Nathan notices that she's carrying a box. Olivia refuses to say what's in it, and Olivia notices some children playing on the street.

J.D. and Vin are there, and Nathan says that Buck is in a foul mood because he lost his watch. Olivia goes over to a poker table where Ezra is dealing.
Chris goes out and finds Mary, and says that she should have told him that Buck and Nathan were picking up a woman. She says that she didn't think it mattered, and Mary tells him that it was in her newspaper about the new business in town. Chris says that he's starting to feel out of place.
Coltrane approaches Terry on the street, and says that he's been doing hard things since she's been gone. Terry insists that she's looking for a second chance, and Coltrane says that he bribed Terry to get on the parole list. He points out the bank and says that he's been waiting for Terry to get out of prison, and the Federal loan money is only there for a few days. When Terry refuses, Coltrane threatens her and Olivia if Terry doesn't cooperate and leads her off on his arm.
At the bank, the banker is putting the money in the vault. Coltrane and Terry come in, and Terry gets a good look at the vault door while Coltrane says that he's considering depositing his money. The banker assures Coltrane that the vault is impenetrable.
In the saloon, Ezra continues playing and says that the player who is winning is palming cards. and Ezra announces that he knows and the player has been cheating badly. The man goes for his gun, and Ezra extends his holdout derringer from his sleeve and gets the drop on the man. Vin and the others are there, and they draw their guns as well. The cheater quickly leaves, and Buck tells Olivia that she almost got them killed and hands her over to Nathan before leaving.
Coltrane leaves the bank, while Buck finds Terry and she tells him that she has business. The robber and his gang come over and Coltrane asks who Buck is, and Terry says that he's a friend and they should let him walk away. One of Coltrane's men puts a gun against Buck's back, and Coltrane says that they'll take him along and ask questions later.
J.D. takes Olivia to Terry at the hotel, and sees the gang taking Buck away. He pulls Olivia to cover and they listen as Coltrane asks where Olivia is and Terry tells him that her daughter is being taken care out of town. Coltrane doesn't believe her, having seen Olivia at the newspaper, and Terry insists that Olivia gone now. The gang puts Terry on one of their horses and they ride out town.
Outside of Four Corners, the gang stops for a break and one man tells Coltrane that Buck and Terry appear to be more than friendly. Meanwhile, Terry apologizes to Buck for his getting involved, and says that Buck doesn't seem like a bad person. She explains that she's a safecracker, and Buck tells Terry to say that he's worked with her before.
Coltrane asks Buck who he is, and Terry says Buck is one of the best powder men she's ever worked with. She insists that if Coltrane wants her, Buck is with her. Coltrane, amused, agrees but warns them both that he's not one to be crossed. He then sends two of his men to find Olivia and bring her to him so she can use her as "leverage" against Terry.
In town, J.D. tells the others what he overheard, and Chris and Vin Nathan ride off after the gang. Chris has J.D. take Olivia to the church to keep her safe, and J.D. claims to Olivia he's the fastest gunman in town except for Chris. J.D. notices that his cufflinks are gone, and Olivia feigns ignorance.
Chris and Vin ride out of town, and spot the gang riding toward the border. They meet up with three more men, and Chris figures that the numbers against them are too much. Chris says that they'll wait until the gang gets settled in at Purgatory, the town where they're heading.
Josiah and Nathan are working on fixing the church, while Ezra sits inside with Olivia and asks her how she knew the player was cheating. She says that she learned how to spot a double-dealer in prison, and Ezra is impressed. He says that Olivia has the gift, and Olivia wonder if Terry will get a second chance. The three men assure her that Terry will, and Ezra is amused that Olivia knows five-card stud.
Chris and Vin follow the gang across the border to Purgatory, and Vin remembers it from when he was a bounty hunter. He warns Chris that it's a hellhole, and they ride into Purgatory and Vin says that the last time, he faced off against an outlaw who's gun stuck. One man shoots another in the street, and two men search the body then haul it away.
Vin warns Chris that Coltrane and his gang know him because Vin once took one of them in. Chris tells Vin to go back to Four Corners and brings the others back if Chris doesn't return with Buck and Gerry. He then goes into the bar where the gang is hanging out. Coltrane is "flirting" with Terry, and suggests that they go to South America and make a life together.
Terry angrily says that Coltrane arrested her, and Chris walks in. Coltrane says that Kansas City is a long way back, and Terry says that Coltrane killed her father and husband. He dismisses them as fools, and says that he can give her a future. Terry refuses, saying that she's through, and Chris and Buck exchange glances.
Coltrane gets up and tells his gang to take Buck outside and shoot them. Chris yells that Buck shot his brother in the back and he's there to kill Buck, throws Buck outside, and draws his gun. Buck extends his arms wide and tells Chris to shoot straight, and everyone comes out to watch as Chris seemingly shoots Buck dead. Chris secretly cuts his hand and puts the blood on Buck's chest as he kneels next to him, making it look like he shot Buck. As Coltrane comes over, Chris yells at all of them to go to hell and storms off.
Two of the local men haul Buck away, and Coltrane figures his problem is taken care of. Chris goes back into the bar and orders a drink, and Coltrane comes up to him and pays for the drink. Coltrane talks about losing kin, and Chris tells him that he's in the habit of doing anything he wants. Introducing himself, Coltrane says that he was a sheriff in Missouri and says that he could use a man like Chris in his business of "making money". Chris says that he's interested and they should go to a table to talk privately.
Coltrane's two men search Four Corners but don't find Olivia. J.D. and Mary walk by, and J.D. has a doll for Olivia. The two robbers secretly follow them,
At the church, Olivia is displaying her expertise with card flourishes to Ezra, and then deals poker. As Olivia wins against Ezra and Josiah, J.D. and Mary come in and J.D. gives Olivia the doll.
The two locals put Buck in a cheap coffin and put on the cover. Buck comes out, startling them.
Coltrane tells Chris that they plan to rob a bank. Coltrane has heard about the seven "hired guns" the locals have hired, and Chris says that he's in and introduces himself. He's ready to go, and Coltrane tells him that they'll leave within the hour. Chris looks outside and sees Buck nearby, dressed as a local. As Chris sits down at an outside table, Coltrane brings Terry out and introduces her as her safecracker like her father before her. He says that Buck was a friend of Terry, and he wants Chris to "run herd" on Terry.
Once Coltrane leaves, Chris tells Terry that Buck in a better place. Meanwhile, Buck sheds his disguise and then punches the man unconscious who took his hat, gun, and boots, then rides off.
At the church that night, Ezra talks to Olivia about the cows in India. She wishes that her father was missionary, and says that she never knew him. Josiah assures her that her father lives in Olivia's heart and knows her, and talks about a woman in a myth. Olivia wonders if her father could have been a god, and Josiah dozes off in the middle of his story.
Olivia goes outside and walks down the street, and the two gang members spot the girl and follow her. Vin rides up to the church and goes in, wakes up the others, and Josiah realizes that Olivia is gone. They go out to look for her, and she doesn't hear their calls. Olivia has gone to a stable to play, and the two men come in and grab her. J.D. spots them as they take the girl down the street, and they run as J.D. chases them.
The men duck back into the stable, and one of the men throws a knife into J.D.'s chest. J.D. staggers out and calls to the others, and Ezra and Vin take J.D. to Nathan. Nathan confirms that the blade didn't go deep and the J.D. will be okay. Buck arrives and says that Chris is with the gang coming to rob the bank.
Coltrane's gang ride into town and the four members of the Seven spot them. They hide, while Coltrane has one of his men show Terry her daughter from an upstairs window at the hotel.

Coltrane has his men capture the soldiers on guard, then he has Terry pick the lock on the front door. As Terry works on the vault door, Chris whispers to her that Mary is a friend of his and Buck isn't dead. He tells Terry to play it out, and she continues working on the door.
In the upstairs hotel room, Olivia sees movement in the hall outside under the door sill. The guards see the movement as well and open the door, and find a fire in the hallway. One guard goes outside to put it out, and Buck swings down from the ceiling, kicks the man unconscious, and draws on the other guard. He dares the guard to shoot, willing to kill him for kidnapping a child. When the man goes for his revolver, Buck pistol-whips him unconscious and finds his watch in Olivia's box.
Terry opens the vault door and gets it open, and she and Chris go in to get the money. The rest of the gang rides up to the bank with horses, and Ezra and Olivia spots them from the hotel window. Chris sees Olivia, tells Terry that her daughter is safe, and leads the woman to cover. Coltrane notices and opens fire, and then rides off with his gang. J.D. is waiting in the street and shoots one of the gang dead with a rifle.

The two men fire, and Coltrane goes down. Terry comes out as Olivia runs out of the hotel and goes to her mother.
The next day, Terry and Olivia prepare to take the coach to Bitter Creek. Buck tells Olivia to give up her habit of pickpocketing, and Mary thanks Chris for giving the reward money to the town's farmer for "progress". The coach leaves and Buck says that he could have handled the situation in Purgatory himself. Chris jokingly says that he should have killed Buck when he had a chance. Vin asks what time Buck has, and Buck realizes that Olivia stole his watch, again and runs off the coach.
